coffee

since March of this year as the station’s operations chief, taking part of a special yearlong mission. Earlier today, he tweeted this incredible photo of espresso from the end of a straw forming a perfect ball in the absence of gravity. (The ISS crew must be enjoying their new space-compatible espresso machine !) The water used for the espresso machine comes from the ISS’s water and urine recycling system, which allows for “yesterday’s coffee to become today’s coffee.”
